Showcase
Dev asset capture for AI coding agents. Screenshots, video clips, and walkthroughs captured passively during development for blog and product content.
The Answer
Showcase captures screenshots and clips while you code, so writing the blog post later takes minutes instead of a re-recording session.
The Problem It Solves
Shipping a feature and writing about it are two jobs. By the time the feature is done, the bug you fought for an hour is invisible, the clean “before” state is gone, and the reviewer-friendly screenshot lives only in your head. Retroactively reconstructing the demo costs an afternoon.
How It Works
Claude Code hooks call Showcase MCP tools at opportune moments: after a UI file edit, when a flow completes, when a test passes. Each capture carries the file, feature, and component context pulled from the current conversation, then writes to a local library. The showcase:find CLI retrieves assets by tag, feature, date, or free text when you sit down to write the post.
What Makes It Different
Two plugin surfaces ship in one package: the Claude Code plugin (authoritative) and an additive Codex plugin, each with its own manifest. Scripted walkthroughs record multi-step flows with narrated steps, not just still frames. Export produces captures plus a markdown manifest, so Ghost, Notion, or a static site ingests the output without manual re-linking.
